Feedback from listeners

Since the release of my first CD, I've heard from many people from coast to coast and beyond.

Thanks so much, everyone, for letting me post your comments.  It's great to know how much you're enjoying my music! 

     "Luckily, I came across your CDs at the library.  We love them!" - Rasa S., Sudbury, Ontario

•  "I can't stop listening to your great CD!  I love it and I am a grown up! I also play guitar and would like to learn to play Rock Me Easy along with the CD.  The guitar work is beautiful." - Joanne D., Southwold, Ontario

•  "Our three-year-old daughter loves your music. She dances to it while she is colouring and painting." - Julie L., Bala, Ontario

•  "My daughter loves the song "Like a Giant in a Towel". I can't imagine how it must feel to create something so lovely, so quietly moving. Thanks beyond words for your beautiful, gentle music. Your song will be putting my daughter to sleep for years to come."  - Paul G., St.Thomas, Ontario
   
• "I read about 'Alligator Ice Cream - Jelly Delight!' in a Maclean's magazine that a visitor from Canada brought over to me. I'm excited to be able to purchase this CD. I listened to the soundclips - perfect for my Grade 1 class of English-2nd language children! ... Our jobs as educators are much more fun and the curriculum richer when we can bring people like you and Lee into the classroom."  - Yvonne S., Dresden, Germany
   
  
•  "We are very happy with our purchase of "Alligator Ice Cream-Jelly Delight!" My little girl loves the CD and really responds to the music. It is fun to watch her!!  When she is a bit fussy before a nap or at bedtime she is lulled to sleep by the sweet sounds of "Alligator Pie"... I find that I am humming them at work!"  - Vanessa Y., Brooklyn, NY
   
  
•  "Eddie - thanks for the speedy delivery of your CD... you've done a splendid job!  It's great!!!  So far, "My Doodle-bug Won't Come Home" is the family favourite. We're looking forward to many years of enjoyment from your music." - Craig and Gillian M., Victoria, BC
   
  
•  "It's positively enchanting ... I find myself wandering around already humming and singing the tunes to myself. Lovely voice, and to my ear the style of music is the perfect setting for the much-loved lyrics. Wonderful! ... (quite frankly I've been listening to it rather a lot on my own, when my son is napping ...)." - Wendy E-S., Montreal, Quebec
   
  
•  "GREAT CD!! ... I am a huge fan of Dennis Lee. ... My favourite song is The Puzzle but I love them all. They are so calm and singable."  - Christian K., Ottawa, Ontario
   
  
•  "I bought this for my 3 year old grandson after reading about it in Maclean's magazine. He LOVES it and so do we and his parents. Not your typical "kiddie" stuff but very sophisticated, great music created for these clever lyrics. He will be able to appreciate and enjoy this CD for many years. This is one that you will keep from one generation to the next."  - Jay Thistle, Wasaga Beach, Ontario
   
  
•  "Children love this CD so much - I lent mine to a friend at work, and his kids hid it from him so he wouldn't be able to return it!"  - Amy Aikman, Victoria, BC
   
  
•  "As I am writing, I hear my daughter and son-in-law out in the kitchen preparing supper and they are singing along ... the first time I've heard my son-in-law sing since I got here. Of course, my granddaughter (8 mo.) is listening. ... We really love your CD."  - Anne B., Halifax, Nova Scotia
